- So if all the footage from Kirkham's reality show burned in that fire, then where did the footage for this show come from? All the shots of Joe not being incarcerated had to have been shot while they were shooting the other show, since Joe gets incarcerated at the end.
- Joe was recording everything for his web show even before he met Kirkham. That's why the quality is so low compared to the stuff shot by the documentary crew; they were using cheap consumer grade camcorders with onboard microphones. Kirkham and his crew were only there for a year in any case. AFAIK the only thing from that shoot that made it into the documentary was the title sequence with the drone shot of Joe on the throne.
- But there's more good-quality footage of non-incarcerated Joe than there is bad-quality footage.
- There were as many as 3 recordings occurring simultaneously: Joe's web show, Kirkham filming those running Joe's web show, and the documentary crew filming both of them. Kirkham was filming a reality show based around Joe that was unrelated to the documentary.

is an article about it. Relevant part is 8 paragraphs in.
